Hi Chuck!
Actually all you need to do is have a running kernel and your headers
for the nvidia kernel stuff, you can compile it and if your box has
the right headers it will link properly into your kernel with no
problems.
The most likely reason why it failed to build is kernel headers.
I haven't tried any of the new compilers but I wouldn't see a real
reason why a different compiler would matter.
I did it by source myself but.. I believe you can do a apt-get install
nvidia-glx-src, and a apt-get install nvidia-kernel-src and get it
working.
There are a couple of modules which it default loads which conflict
with the nvidia X driver (you should be able to find them via the
XFree86.log if you hunt and disable them) also I believe nvidia has
instructions on how to do it for debian.
